The Coffee Academics, Raffles City

Ive always liked coming to this place for coffee after lunch. I like their ‘dirty mocha’. What is very nice here is they give very good service if you order only 1 coffee or a full meal.

Last night I finally had a full meal here and the food was super nice and the service was great as usual.

A great place to have a relaxing dinner or coffee anytime of the day.

Manager Muzz attended to us with such great attentiveness and had very good knowledge with the products the store has to offer. Followed his recommendation with getting the iced okinawa and smoked salmon hash. First time dining in and definitely more to come ! Thank you for the excellent service !

Thank you Muzz. He is so patience with us senior, help us go through the order process, and always come w a big smile despite his busyness. Will come back again.
P.S the pizza and Jawa coffee is so good !

Wouldn’t recommend their spicy chilli crab pasta as the pasta is hard and meat is little. Very different from Scotts square branch. Fish tacos are very good though.

A usual hunt for me now with burpple and entertainer offers. As usual their burgers are wonderful. This time round a really friendly and nice lady staff with specs recommended lychee oolong and being a fan of oolong I decided to give it a try and was not disappointed! You can even ask to adjust the sweetness by them giving you the syrup jar at the side. Friend took Rosti with salmon but she felt it was so so.

Nice little cosy cafe tucked at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre. With one for one promo on entertainer, we enjoyed their charcoal bun burgers at a great price ($22 for halloumi vegetarian, $26 for angus beef). The buns were nicely toasted and crispy, sauces and meat well balanced and delicious. Their curly fries are exceptionally crispy too!

Love their burnt citrus tea ($7) and HK milk Tea ice cream :)

Second visit: tried Unami pasta and chilli crab pizza. Pizza is crispy and quite huge, enough to share for at least 2. Pasta is very flavourful

I have been here enough times over the years to ascertain that depending on who makes your coffee, you may end up with a nice cup like the one shown in my pic, or a terribad one that is done wrong and tastes off 🌚.

Supremely love the manuka latte with oat milk!!! 🍯☕ It’s so balanced and flavours all just hit the right note ☺.

This is a comfortable and nice place to chill, with natural light streaming in. Used to purchase the coffee cards that offer significant discounts off the coffee, but the inconsistency in quality has made me stop coming here frequently. Will still pop by once in awhile when I’m in the area! 😊

The crispy fish fillet tacos is so good!! And manager Muzz also made sure we had a good experience here! (: thank you!

The food and coffee here never disappoint. Amazing lattes. Try the Manuka Latte. Perfect balance between bitter and sweet and such a beautiful aroma. I keep coming for breakfast as the sordough toast is done perfectly to my taste and so are the poached eggs. Also, the servers are friendly and helpful. (I always ask for extra butter for my toast and they accommodate with a smile on their faces)

Good foods & coolest coffee shop in CBD Singapore. Must try!

One of the service staff was very friendly and he made dining here a pleasant experience.

Not a coffee person but decided to give their Miso & Okinawa Brown Sugar Coffee a try and it was mind blowing - something I have never tasted before. They are truly coffee experts.

Ordered the All-Day Academic Breakfast and all time favorite Truffle Portobello Mushroom pizza. The portions were just nice to share.

You could also make reservation on Chope to guarantee a space as they can get pretty crowded on good days.

Excellent coffee to complement the good food on the table! It's great that dining in is allowed again. Try the hard to find in Singapore dirty latte or dirty mocha!

If you want to have your best cup of Joe, request the craftmanship from their friendly baristas, Redzzz and Ashely -- thank you for the nice cup of coffee! Also, thank you to the operational team for providing a very warm and friendly experience, namely -- Muzz and Alynn. Keep it up guys! :)

Good food and ambience
Pricey
Savoury Pancakes - well done
Eggs beb- pretty standard
Okinawa - delightful

Food was really flavourful, delicious and with quality ingredients. While the portion for burger dishes is good, The portion of some dishes could be abit bigger, like pasta and French toast. Service was prompt and friendly, but it wasn't full when we were there. It was especially worth it because I used a voucher, otherwise I'm not sure if I would pay full price though.

Coffee tea beverages and Western delights served in the Hongkong style. Nostalgic feeling of back to old time Hongkong coffee Club atmosphere in cute yet spacious aircond private middle class gentlemen and ladies relaxing comfortable seating for high tea coffee breaks and small bites. Love the unique Earl Grey tea set that comes with filtered waters for coffee and tea. Varieties of artisan bakery pastries desserts Sandwiches and snacks too. Freshly prepared food with healthy ingredients tender loving skillful baking and warm services. Conveniently located at neighbourhood of famous restaurants at Raffles City amongst luxury hotels resorts shopping and convention centres. Walking distance covered pathway to City Hall MRT and via City Link Mall to Esplanade and Promenade MRT. Friendly cosy comfy welcoming ambience for romantic intimates groups students expats locals visitors and families.

The umami pasta is heavenly, portion is huge and super tasty! Love their avocado toast and the fried fish mango salsa tacos. And of cos the wonderful aroma of the coffee! Love them!

Had Avacado and green grape Quinoa salad. It was good.

My friend had Smoked Salmon and Hash brown,she liked it too.
Dinesh ,Sadie and Jessica served us well.

Well done team The Coffee Academics.

(Being the top 10% Restaurant reviewers and influencer, I look forward to receive media invites to try out various dishes they serve.)

Very worth the price for set lunch meal.
Appreciate Muzz and his team for excellent service catered while dining in.
Love the fish and chip with curry mayo which is highly recommended.

I would like to thank Muzz, the Store Manager and his staff Naila for the very personalised service for our recent take-away lunch order for 10 pax for a corporate meeting in our office. From the time we had placed our food orders few days in advance, till the order was collected, Muzz ensured that our orders were in place even though he was on leave on the day of our collection of food and his staff Naila had carefully packed the food for pickup and labelled the items and packed it such that it made it so much easier for us to differentiate the items and served the food on time and whilst it was still hot. It was thoughtful of Naila to help label the individual items for us as that really made it much easier to identify the food items. The food was also delicious.

Thank you very much for the wonderful service. Keep up the good work 😊

Nice, relax, quiet and cosy place.
Service was superb. Coffee was great too.
I was clumsy and spill half glass of my latte. The staffs was good enough to replace another glass of latte for me out of his own initiative. Thank you.

Some extraordinary twists to regular coffee-you have to try their signature coffee ! My personal favourite is the Pepper Agave.
